The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hadn't the DOJ already declined to prosecute him? - albaby

Yep, the FBI concluded its investigation with no charges filed.

Since we MAGA's embrace endless conspiracy theories, I will pass along an interesting plot that was revealed today on the network that shall not be named. It goes like this.

Trump and Gaetz hatch a diabolical plan.

First Trump nominates Gaetz. Gates then resigns from the 118th Congress thus encumbering the release of the House ethics report.

Gaetz draws all the heat for a week while Trump cements other diabolical plans. The phrase Operation Abuella was overheard.

Now its time to for Gaetz to withdraw as nominee leaving Trump to pick an operative he had in mind all the time and needed Gaetz to soften up the beachhead.

Right now Gaetz in not a member of the 118th Congress. And the 119th won't be seated until Jan 3. So first thing in Jan is we need a speaker so Johnson gets elected. One of Johnson's first duties is to accept Gaetz's resignation from the 118th, so perhaps Gaetz still was member until Johnson could accept the resignation?

Anyway, now Gaetz is officially out, the Sergent at Arms drags Gaetz by the ear and out the door. Now time to get down to other business. Since Gaetz won re-election he is entitled to be be seated in the 119th. Johnson has the Sergent at Arms respectfully escort Gaetz back into the chamber.

That is a tight little bundle, Gaetz ends up right back where he started sans the ethics investigation. Trump's real pick will have a easier time through the approval process. And coalescence of the swamp draining team continues on track.
